DEPANCEL 2023
Allure - Jürgen Clauss
Depancel is once again paying homage to fervent collector Jürgen Clauss. Thirty years after seeing his first French berlinette, he’s lost nothing of his inner child and has become one of the car’s most specialised restorers.
Featuring a ‘new old stock’ Valjoux base, every detail of this Swiss Made chronograph highlights its distinguished racing character – and celebrates his outstanding career.

Alpine LAB et son Alpine A110 1300S “Usine” de 1968.
Bien que l’hiver soit passé, il existe des plaisirs inépuisables à n’importe quelle saison. Telle que cette Alpine A110 1300S de 1968, qui se délecte du froid et de la glace avec à son volant un propriétaire connu dans le milieu Alpine, Jürgen Clauss.

Embrace the flaws
What does it mean? What does it say about us? Really, it's nothing short of the only viable consequence. So as I sit in front of each and every, last and viable, essential piece I give my very best, my all. Every step deserves the utmost attention. And when it is all set and done, when the pursuit of perfection has ended, there is only one thing left to do. Embrace the flaws.

Diese Werks-Alpine A110 hatte die Kunst der Leichtigkeit perfektioniert.
Es ist zwar die Jahreszeit, in der man sich gerne verwöhnt. Aber sollte man an Weihnachten allmählich an physische und mentale Grenzen stoßen, dann hätten wir da die perfekte Kur. Dieser ehemalige Werks-Alpine A110 verführt beim Fahren zur Reduktion aufs Wesentliche.

Diese Werks-Alpine A110 1300S weckt eiskalte Frühlingsgefühle.
Während der heiß ersehnte Frühling schon zahlreiche Klassiker mit den Hufen scharren lässt, würde diese Ex-Werks-Alpine A110 den Winter am liebsten noch ein wenig verlängern. Ebenso wie ihr Besitzer, denn auf Eis und Schnee fühlt sich „die Blaue“ halt pudelwohl...

Alpine Lab Just Resurrected A Works A110 That Was Almost Past Saving.
Our friends at Alpine Lab often complete some jaw-droppingly impressive projects, but this particular car has left our eyes wide in amazement of the restoration completed. Though the small, light, rear-engined fiberglass sports cars from Alpine are now in huge demand, this wasn’t always the case. At some point even a one-cutting edge Alpine Works rally-winning machine is simply and old race car—and is passed to someone else.

A Cross-Border Love Affair with the Alpine A110.
If you travel the world and meet all kinds of people, you’ll eventually find that despite all the cultural and political differences there is one common denominator. There is a global love for cars in one way or another, and often, people prefer cars from countries other than their own. This is the story of a German enthusiast who fell for French curves.
The Alpine A110 Berlinette was first introduced at the Paris Auto Show in 1962, a sports car based on Renault components. Porsche was almost left speechless at the 1968 Monte Carlo Rally when Alpine came out of nowhere, dominated the German team and was so close to a big upset.
